Thanks Len.
That's what I did to begin with...

Now I get this:

# postfix start
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop:
var/spool/postfix/public
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop:
/var/spool/postfix/maildrop
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop:
/usr/sbin/postqueue
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop:
/usr/sbin/postdrop
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system


Here is my passwd file entries:

postfix:*:12345:12345:postfix:/no/where/postfix:/nonexistent
postdrop:*:12346:12346:postdrop:/no/where/postdrop:/nonexistent


I also have another machine that does the very same thing.
Could I have fouled up the postfix install somehow?

in freebsd, I do this:

pw groupadd -n postfix
pw useradd -n postfix -g postfix -d /no/where
pw groupadd  -n postdrop -g 54321

in main.cf:
setgid_group = postdrop

This give two different groups postfix and postdrop

I think postfix will correct this if you run "make upgrade" (but it
won't 
create the postdrop group).
